Architecture et sciences humaines : emprunts et détournements

On the venue's site

What do the human sciences contribute to architecture today? How do they transform its methods, its tools and its processes, but also the subjects that architects take up?

This meeting explores the exchanges between architecture and the human sciences through three registers of borrowing: gender studies, environmental history and the thought of Bruno Latour.

Lecturers and researchers, Margaux Darrieus and Léa Mosconi explore, respectively, the discourses that shape contemporary architectural practices and the place of the living in architecture. Architect and publisher, Galaad Van Daele is interested in the boundaries between nature and culture, while architectural historian Stéphanie Dadour studies power relations in the practices of designing and arranging space. Together, they-they cross their perspectives on the dialogues between disciplines and their effects on architectural thought.
